A hospital gown designed to actually cover your ass.
Bill Kirkland of Vernon B.C. has designed a new-wrap around hospital gown that actually covers your butt. I am guessing the moon is the limit for what this will mean to the dignity of man.
Runner Up: A “Pay as you go” hospital funding model piloted in four British Columbia Hospitals improves their levels of service and reduces wait times by 25%.
The current nationwide model where hospitals are given their funding up front introduces the mindset, real or implied that each new patient that comes along is just using up their funding. Under the new model Hospitals are paid per procedure performed with bonuses for speedy care – e.g. if a broken bone is set in less than four hours, the hospital will receive an extra $100.
